Park and Ski:
When planning to visit Limberlost please familiarize yourself with the Rules and Regulations so that everyone can enjoy the forest without any issues. Thanks!
To protect skiers and wildlife on the woodland roads, vehicles are required to be left at one of the designated parking areas. The principal parking areas provide direct access to the major ski trails. Please always drive slowly and safely and carefully observe the posted speed limit of 20 km/hour and 10km/hour from the main entrance to the office area. Parking areas are marked on the map below.

Trail Conditions:
March 18th update:
Well folks, we are going to call it a season there. Prolonged melts have caused large washouts and bare spots on many trails, bringing hazards to both skiers and our groomers.
Trails are done being groomed for the year, thanks for a great winter full of fun skiing and incredible snow conditions!
You are still more than welcome to explore the ungroomed ski trails via ski, snowshoe, or hiking but please proceed with caution and expect hazards as we are no longer updating or clearing the trails of fallen trees and debris. Have fun and be safe!

It connects Barlow -> McReynold Valley -> Connector -> Lee Lake and back for a total of 8km, with the option to repeat the inner 5k loop. Groomed very wide for skate skiing. Trackset along the side for classic skiiers as well.

** Lake crossings are dependent on ice conditions, we do not recommend going on any lakes unless we have groomed it and marked it open. This is still no guarantee of perfect ice conditions. Highly volatile.
